| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Weak heroine, and the love was really just lust |
| From the back cover:
In medieval England, Gloriana, Lady of Kenbrook, awaits her husband, Dane St. Gregory, whom she has not seen since childhood. She is stunned to discover that he has returned with a betrothed; beautiful Gloriana is to be cast into a nunnery. Dane's mysterious sister-in-law, Elaina, counsels her to win Dane's heart or see the entire Kenbrook line imperiled. Entranced by her passionate will, he cannot resist Gloriana's potent charm, while she falls ever more deeply in love with Dane, her valiant swordsman. But their newfound happiness is brief--suddenly, Gloriana is swept across the chasm of time to a dazzling future. Trapped centuries apart, Gloriana and Dane suffer the torment of their longing, knowing that only their love for one another and the strength of their desire can reunite them at last. And my review: I can't see the big deal about this book. I was so bored that I couldn't make myself finish it. My biggest complaint was with the heroine. The author keeps stating that Glorianna is a strong woman, but I saw no sign of it. Any "strength" she showed came across as childish petulance. And what I really didn't understand was what she saw in the hero. He was so mean to her! I mean, I know that sexual attitudes were different in medieval times, but this guy was a complete and utter jerk. I'm supposed to believe that because he's gorgeous and great in bed the heroine is willing to put up with being treated like garbage? I didn't buy it. I never saw any tenderness or love between Gloriana and Dane. It was nothing but lots and lots of sex. I have no problem with sexual attraction between the leads (in fact, it's necessary for a good romance), but there needs to be more drawing them together than just overactive hormones. It was just "I hate you, come here, let's jump into bed". I find this author's books are either full of sex, or are sweet with only a wedding night scene at the end. I've often thought that a pen name to distinguish between these two very different styles of romance writing would have been a good idea. I don't recommend KNIGHTS, unless you want a book that's only about sex and not about real love. |
